We were delighted to see Contributer making a cracking start to the year by winning a competitive conditions race at Newbury over a mile and a quarter today.
The three year old colt was given a patient ride by Ryan Moore before striking the front in the closing stages to score comfortably from Cruck Realta.
We are delighted for his owner, Mr George Bolton, who purchased this son of High Chaparral at the Craven Breeze Up Sales last year.
"We had been pleased with the way he had been going at home and today justified that. Ryan Moore seemed to like him and he won well on not particularly nice ground. There is obviously a chance now that he will step up in class but we will see what the handicapper does to him!"
